How can providers navigate the sensitive conversation around vaccinations with hesitant parents? Dr. Alexander Hamling, pediatrician at PacMed, discusses key techniques to address concerns and highlight the importance of immunizations. "When I speak with parents who are unsure about getting their children vaccinated, I always listen first. It's important to provide a safe environment in which they feel heard and understood. For example, I might say, 'I understand your concerns about vaccines. Can you tell me more about what worries you?' This helps to open up a dialogue and shows that I respect their perspective.'
